I called the place that installed it, tried to keep my cool until after explaining to the person who I was, they asked. Did you get the Alarm here. Which I screaned why would I call you if I did not!!!
So the guy who installed the Alarm drove an hour at 6:00pm at night to look at it. After testing a bunch of fuses. He got in the drivers side and started moving the shifter (Automatic). After a few seconds he said he found the problem. In the front part of the Shifter cover he pulled out the top to a sports water bottle I had placed there! 
The installer (which was not the guy I screamed at) was very gracious and even resisted when I tried to pay him for his troubles. 
Well we decided it was too late to drive to Vegas and went home to start tomorrow morning.
Thankfully I have a wife who is very accepting of my little quirks and moments of stupidity.
I personally would of much rather hid under a rock  |
Happens to the best of us.
Send the shop a thank you card and enclose an Amex gift card inside. You can write something like, "Thanks for sending someone out to help me. Customer service like that is rare, and I am very grateful that folks like your firm are around."
This sounds like a good company. I'm glad you found them.
Best of luck..... Lesson learned: soda caps bad.
